Biochem/physiol Actions

Coenzyme A functions as an acyl group carrier, acetyl-CoA. Heptadecanoyl Coenzyme A (C17-CoA), a long-chain (C-17) saturated fatty acyl-CoA, is used as an intermediate in lipid metabolism. It is a substrate of acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (EC 1.3.99.3) within the mitochondria and of carnitine O-palmitoyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.21) within the cytoplasm. Heptadecanoyl Coenzyme A is an inhibitor of general acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase (EC 1.3.99.3).

The flavoenzyme pig kidney general acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (EC 1.3.99.3) is inactivated by cyclohexane-1,2-dione in borate buffer in a reaction that exhibits pseudo-first-order kinetics. Strong protection is afforded by the substrate octanoyl-CoA, as well as by heptadecyl-CoA, a potent competitive inhibitor
C Thorpe et al.
European journal of biochemistry, 118(2), 279-282 (1981-08-01)
The interaction of two long-chain acyl-CoA analogs with pig kidney general acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (EC 1.3.99,3) was examined. The effect of S-heptadecyl-CoA and heptadecan-2-onyl-dethio-CoA on the flavo-protein was observed spectrophotometrically using the flavin as an active-site probe. The S-heptadecyl thioether analog

A method has been developed that permits rapid and easy tissue extraction of long-chain acyl-coenzyme A (acyl-CoA) thioesters with sensitive quantitation by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). Tissue homogenants are extracted using a reserve Bligh-Dyer technique, and long-chain acyl-CoA esters

We provide novel insights into the function(s) of β-carotene-15,15'-oxygenase (CMOI) during embryogenesis. By performing in vivo and in vitro experiments, we showed that CMOI influences not only lecithin:retinol acyltransferase but also acyl CoA:retinol acyltransferase reaction in the developing tissues at

The control of pheromone biosynthesis by the neuropeptide PBAN was investigated in the moth Heliothis virescens. When decapitated females were injected with [2-(14)C] acetate, females co-injected with PBAN produced significantly greater quantities of radiolabeled fatty acids in their pheromone gland
